NUT unable to start service legacy-cont-init

[erickards]

The problem

NUT server will not start up. SNMP-UPS driver was used for my RMCARD-205 for a cyberpower UPS. I have SNMP enabled, and UPS status is able to be read from a different device.

What version of Home Assistant Core has the issue?

core-2023.5.3

What was the last working version of Home Assistant Core?

No response

What type of installation are you running?

There hasn't been any activity on this issue recently. Due to the high number of incoming GitHub notifications, we have to clean some of the old issues, as many of them have already been resolved with the latest updates. Please make sure to update to the latest Home Assistant version and check if that solves the issue. Let us know if that works for you by adding a comment 👍 This issue has now been marked as stale and will be closed if no further activity occurs. Thank you for your contributions.

Well, I can at least say I'm running into at least a similar issue. Also with RMCARD-205.

Even throwing the add-on into TRACE logging, the only indication of errors are these three lines:

cont-init: info: /etc/cont-init.d/nut.sh exited 1

s6-rc: warning: unable to start service legacy-cont-init: command exited 1
/run/s6/basedir/scripts/rc.init: warning: s6-rc failed to properly bring all the services up! Check your logs (in /run/uncaught-logs/current if you have in-container logging) for more information.

I'd look at that log file it mentions, but not really sure where to find it outside the container.

[arivelli]

Hey Folks... I have the same issue here, it started failing suddenly without any reason

[ollo69]

This is not the right place, issue is related to add-on and not integration.

[simposiummm]

Same problem here is there any solution for this?

[rliessum]

Running into issues as well, will dig in to it.

Update: Weird.... was looking for insights, came to this issue but when I wanted to dig in to it, it seems to work:

Hello. I have the same problem, the plugin and the integration stops working and the data is lost. cont-init: warning: some scripts exited nonzero s6-rc: warning: unable to start service legacy-cont-init: command exited 1 /run/s6/basedir/scripts/rc.init:

Any solution????

[rliessum]

For me, it just started to work, I truly don't know what changed other than give it time and restart a couple of times.

[sobrarbe]

@rliessum Hello, I restart the plugin or the UPS. Could you send the configuration you have in the plugin to compare with mine? thank you.

Issue just occurred for me out of the blue post 2024.2 upgrade.

[tERB00]

It happened for me because of compromised password I used. After I changed it the addon started successfully.

Same problem here. I can see it make a connection to one of my UPS':

But it appears to crash out before actually doing anything useful...
